They are a multinational conglomerate.

I don't suppose anybody on here has ever been/is still contracted to work for them?

Either temporary or permanently in any capacity? What type of employers are they like?
 

Well it's 35 years since a charismatic theatre luvvie waltzed in and pressed PAUSE on Everton football club, but we might just have pressed PLAY again.
We have been an ever present in the premier league all this time. Villa, Newcastle and West Ham have been in the championship at least once, also during this period. Villa and Newcastle are lightyears ahead of us now and West Ham won a euro pot last season. I cant understand how badly we were lead over that time period. We've been broke during the richest period in football history.

Two words. Actually, three:

Everyone is right to be cautious about what happens next and TFG will be judged what they do here over the long term but a coup,e of points.

1) Whatever you opinion on, on the field with Rooma they have absolutely recovered that club and business financially from a worse position then Everton, once you do that you can get the football as wrong as many times as you like until you get it right - think Chelsea.

2) Whatever about the future, this absolutely, reboots the club and the business in the present and that’s our biggest need. Remember when Moshiri came in paid our debts and we could invest again - well that’s happening again, albeit we have some marginal well manageable convenient debt, but a full business reboot is massive for us.

3) With the cleaning up of the business, new equity, no spectre of debt and the revenue from the new ground, even before that is maximised (and it will be) - we jump in the game to WHU and Villa type revenue, if not more - Villa have had an exceptional couple of years, but built on chancy variables.

Baseline, this reboots the club and gives us a ground zero to compete again.
